Reconstruction view of the Annuellars’ College

The Annuellars were the minor clergy employed by the cathedral to perform the daily masses commemorating the cathedral's wealthy patrons. In 1528 a small college was built to accommodate their eighteen members. It stood on the north side of the Close, and its site is now occupied by Nos 1-5 Cathedral Close. Recent archaeological survey has shown that much of the college remains, embedded in later housing. The view shows a reconstruction of its appearance before the Reformation.
